Tools and hardware market is a big market in yiwu international trade city . Around 3,000 shops are located in G2 and F2 sections for tools and hardware.
About 70% shops are opened directly by the factories. Around 26% are general agents, and almost 3.5% are exclusive distributors. More than 80% of them are from local cities. The rest of them are from other parts of China, like Guangzhou and Jiangsu province.
Factory direct sales offices, opened by factories like Yongkang and Wenzhou, see yiwu International Trade City as a window to show customers that they can offer a better price with the same quality. Then they will build their own advantages in this industry. So Customers can get a cheaper price here than that even from factories. It means even you go to factories, they won’t offer customs such a low price like that in Yiwu market .
And the truth is that there are attracted customers around the world to place orders, not only because of low price but also because of available small mixed order.
Now big brands like Korean 777 nail clippers, Bosch power tools have been brought into this market. It is certain that there are more than half of the China Top Brands now.
The shop assistants in Yiwu Hardware Tools & Fittings Market can quote the price through calculator. And if you need more information of the products and reduce the chances to make mistakes, we advice you to have a interpreter. It is not just an interpreter, but a bridge for you to communicate with suppliers. We promise that the first rate services will be offered, and treat our relationship carefully and friendlily.

Yiwu Quality Control (QC)
—you can’t be wrong if you’re careful enough.
Too many times, you would hear how huge Yiwu market is, how rich the variety there is, and how cheap the prices are. I’m sure you also heard of lots of scary stories of Yiwu suppliers (or China suppliers).
I have to stress here again: QC is VERY important for your importing business from yiwu. After one year of sourcing in Yiwu market, I’d like to share with you the lessons we learned from our experience.
1. Open each carton AND each pack, check as more as you can.
2. Don’t let anyone who don’t know your products collect your order and do QC, unless they have a physical sample in hand.
Unhappy Stories:
During the last year, we had several unhappy experiences with some suppliers.One of our US clients came to Yiwu last December and ordered 1,200 pcs paddle brushes as a trial order. Our client(who should come to Yiwu) were very happy with the quality of the samples, so we placed the order, after a long wait, the brushes finally arrived in our warehouse and our office.
The supplier promised us. “No problem, there will be absolutely no problem with the quality of these brushes, your customer will be happy.” “You can relax!” I checked a few pcs of each carton, they looked nice. So I paid them.
But when our staffs were tagging these brushes, problems came one by one.
1. Some of the logos were badly printed, the outer layer of paint can easily go off after a few touches.
2. There was a detachment imperfection on the side of some brushes.
3. Two cartons arrived unsealed, with 1 piece missing of each carton.
We thought that were all the problems. Our client agreed to sell them for a discount. The supplier also could cooperate with offering a discount for these problem brushes.
When more and more problem brushes got checked, I became more suspicious about their quality control. So I revisited their shop. After comparing with the original sample, I found a even bigger problem.
They switched. The brushes they shipped were NOT the ones we ordered! They’re only similar products, but the quality is of two different levels.
We had to return all these brushes because they cannot replace them. They even can’t agree for selling all these brushes to us at a discounted price. “We’ll probably throw one or two of them to each cartons and ship it to other customers later” As they told me.
Very sad story. Our client waited for more than 3 months. We have to source new substitutes for them again. A big waste for everyone!
Imagine what will happen if there’s no one to do proper QC. You will pay all the shipping cost! Terrible!
So the lesson we learned from this case is: open each carton and each pack, don’t listen to any promises from the supplier. Mistakes like wrong color, wrong printing and wrong packing can ALWAYS happen here and there.
3 Set Of Physical Samples:
Another mistake that buyers often make is placing the orders by themselves, but let someone else do the QC and collect their goods later, without leaving any physical samples to QC people.
This could be a disaster to both buyer and the people who is going to do QC. Because in most cases, the QC people don’t know what the products exactly are! As a result, many problem products will be shipped to buyer, then…
What we learn from these cases is “use the same person to follow up the order”, try to reduce these problems to its lowest level. Or have “3 set of physical samples” – One goes to buyer, one goes to QC people, one for factory for production.
Hope the lessons we learned can be useful to you, too. And you won’t need to learn these lessons again.

yiwu china: China Yiwu market
yiwu china: China Yiwu market: If you are looking for some new items for your business, or if you are trying to find some new products of your business lines, then I stron...
Who Should Come To Yiwu?
yiwu is the largest small commodity wholesale market in the world. Who Should Come To Yiwu?
Basically, anyone interested in importing from China can pay a visit to Yiwu market , especially if he/she is in “small commodities” industries. But here I just stress on who MUST come to Yiwu.
Yiwu is the Mega for wholesalers, shop owners, supermarket owners, and dollar store owners.
If you happen to
1. Have distributing channels.
2. Own several shops for toys, gifts/crafts, stationary…
3. Have one or two supermarkets for everything.
4. Have several dollar stores.
Then come to Yiwu. This is a place that will bring you high profit.You will find that 99% products displaying in Yiwu market can be sold at your own store at 8+ times of their buying price.
Say, you buy one plush Barbie toy at 1.00 USD, you can sell it in your store for at least 8.00 USD. For some small things like hair clips, sewing kits, photo frames… the profit can be totally out of your imagination.
For half of the products you find in your nearby corner store (dollar store) can be imported from Yiwu, at which price makes your mouth open for ten seconds.
These are the advantages of visiting Yiwu. Good prices make sure you have enough profit and variety of designs help you mix up a full container easily.
Things People Don’t Like About Yiwu:
1. MINIMUM ORDER.
Take the basic black hair bands for example. They are sold at 0.0003 USD / piece. You can put 3 pieces into one pack sold them at 1.00 USD or 2.00 USD in your store. It’s a hundred-times-profit. But the minimum order is 14,400 pieces. Suppose each person in your community uses up 10 pieces bands each month, and then you have to have 1,440 customers.
Solution for this is having some strong selling channels that can help you sell quickly and bulky for one product, or having several stores selling a large variety of everything.
2. QUALITY. You pay junk prices for junks.
Although the quality improved in recently years, especially after the worldwide financial crisis, people still think it’s too risky to buy without excellent quality inspection.
I once ordered two packs of “red envelopes”, around 4,000 pieces. When my parcel arrived, I found none of the designs were what I had selected previously. It’s terrible. I had to accept the designs they delivered. Too much trouble to go back and argue with them.
Solution for this problem is getting someone to do inspection for you. And make sure that person is clear about what you’re looking for. No misunderstanding. >> See Yiwu agent
This is all about who should/must come to Yiwu – wholesalers, shop owners, supermarket owners, and dollar store owners, and of course, anyone who is looking for new opportunities.

There are premium brands in Yiwu toy markets like GoodBaby from Jiangsu province and ULTRAMAN from Guangdong province. Sure, you can find tons of other brands toys.

Minimum Oder Quantity is about dozens.
It is not easy to buy samples from the shop owners. They prefer to offer samples when you place an order. That doesn’t you cannot buy anything but have to place orders. Many clearance sales/leftovers from factories give customers an opportunity to buy them one by one with a cheap price but same quality.
The suppliers in Yiwu Toys Market seems much educated than before. But it is inevitable to avoid the bad services from suppliers from around China, even around the globe.
Therefore, you’d better not expect the warm services each time in Yiwu market .

Tips for Packaging
——Good Price And Good Quality Must Go With GOOD PACKAGING!
Many buyers, esp. new buyers often neglect the matter of packaging. They usually spend much time and energy on price and quality, but overlook the packaging problem.
Good packaging is very important to avoid damages.
One of our clients from Saudi Arabic ordered a batch of crystal trophies. He paid the deposit and went back home without specific packaging requirements. What he told the factory was “Make sure the best packaging to avoid damages.” And the factory boss promised, “Don’t worry, they will never break. We’re experienced!”
When the factory delivered the trophies to our warehouse, we examined the packaging and gave our opinions that the packaging may be not endurable enough. The manufacturer told us there were no proper packing suppliers because of the coming holiday. And he promised us that the packaging he used was good enough.
Considering the fact that the client sells trophies for a long time, holiday is around the corner, and our client urgently needs these trophies … So we have to dispatch.
In fact, it was our only option at that time.
Then something unfortunate happened:
When we were still enjoying the holiday, our client emailed us that almost all the small and mid-sized trophies were damaged. All we have to do is busy looking for replacements and discussing how to pay for the damages…
Don’t take it for granted that a small piece of “fragile” label will save your fragile products. From my experience, many loaders ignore or neglect the warning sighs intentionally or unintentionally. If nobody’s watching or supervising, the workers will just load or unload goods by the most labor-saving way.
There are many groups of loaders dealing with your goods by different ways and in different places. You can imagine how dangerous it is if your products are not properly packed. Certainly, you are not expecting nasty surprises when opening your cartons at your warehouse.
So here is my suggestion regarding packaging if you’re sourcing in yiwu:
While you’re discussing price and quality next time, DO discuss packaging as well.

Shipment by FCL/LCL in Yiwu
FCL means full containers load, LCL means less than container load. Shipment by FCL/ LCL sea from Yiwu to worldwide is very cheap.
Shipping by FCL(full container load) from Yiwu:
This is the way that most buyers like to use because it’s so much cheaper and secure to ship by FCL.It’s also very easy to operate: Ask all your suppliers, no matter a few or a dozen, to deliver all your products to your Yiwu Agent ‘s warehouse, then let the container go to the warehouse, get loaded and shipped. You open the container in the warehouse at your destination port or even in your own warehouse.
Buyers usually use a trade agent to do this. Trade agents will do everything: collect goods, do QC, provide warehouse/load men, arrange customs declaration, prepare documents and so on. And they’ll follow up the whole process. The charges of these services are usually included in the commission which you both agreed.
AND you don’t need to worry much about what should be filled in your container. Yiwu market has zillions of products for you to choose from, a few cartons of this and a few cartons of that can easily fill up a 20 feet(28 cubic meter) , if not a 40 feet container.
The easiest way my clients using is to fill up the extra space with some disposable foam food containers. These foam containers are very light and can also be used to protect your expensive products, which only cost about 45 USD/CBM (cubic meter). They are popular products you can sell out with no problems.
In most cases, you also need a customs clearance agent/forwarder at your destination port to help you with the clearance and handling.
And you’d better also know the restrictions (if any) and solutions for importing your products into your country before shipping your container from Yiwu. Customs and customs clearance agents of your port can help that with no problem.
Ship by LCL(less than container load) from Yiwu:
If you tried but still cannot fill up 15 CBM (an experience data, if you have less than 15 CBM, It’s better to ship by LCL; if more than 15 CBM, go for a 20 feet container. You can obtain the exact data from your destination port), then you may consider using LCL.The process is more or less the same with shipping by FCL, but you need to have a mark on each carton. It’s really cheap to ship this out from yiwu, but the handling charges at your destination fees are usually very high.This is all about how to ship by FCL (full container load) and LCL(less than container load) from Yiwu. Hope it helps.

How to Send a Package Back Home from Yiwu?
How to send a package/ box / carton back home from Yiwu?I have bought three 3 luggage of jewelry and watches, it is about 95kg. How can I send them back home from Yiwu?
This Is A True Story:
C is from Switzerland. She bought a 20kg package of stones from Yiwu market, and then realized she had to send this package back home by courier. Her hotel couldn’t help her then she left me a message on website.
“If I cannot find a cheaper way to send this package home, I may just give it to someone.”
Because the prices in Yiwu market are so attractive that people just keep buying and forget the weight. In the end, they realize that the courier fees are more expensive than the goods themselves. And it’s too heavy for them to carry along.
“How can I send this back home at a cheaper price?”
1. Ask an import and export agent to help you send out if you have one or can find one. These agents use couriers frequently, so they always know how to send out your package at a cheaper price. In fact, many of them are partners of couriers like FedEx, DHL, TNT, UPS, EMS and so on. They can have discount as low as 55% off sometimes.
2. Call FedEx or DHL and let them come to your hotel to collect your package. In Yiwu, you can only call these two because other couriers either don’t have an office in Yiwu, or won’t come to your hotel to collect your parcel.
Here are the free hotlines:
FedEx: 800-988-1888 (fixed phone); 400-886-1888 (mobile phone)
DHL: 800-810-8000 (fixed phone); 400-810-8000(mobile phone & fixed phone)
*you’d better check out all the prices and discounts viaphone no. above , their courier boys usually can’t speak any English.
3. Go to China Post office and send your package there. If you have a big parcel, want to send at a low price and not care much about time and security, then China Post would be a nice choice for you. You can go to their office and send out your package directly.
I usually send things at here: No. 458, Chouzhou North Rd. This office is not far away from Yiwu International Trade City. AND it’s just beside Yiwu Binwang Market. 6 RMB taxi fees would take you here from Yiwu International Trade City.
Here is the Chinese address: 稠州北路 458号 宾王邮局
Of course, I’ll always be happy to assist you send your package back home from Yiwu. We usually use FedEx, TNT, UPS, DHL and EMS as our partners. You can just leave me a message on the website then we’ll keep in touch.

Financial Arrangement in Yiwu
If you’re planning on visiting yiwu, the first thing you should do is to arrange your financial affairs in Yiwu.
Can I pay for purchases with a credit card?
Is it easy to remit money to a Yiwu local bank?
How to use my own money in Yiwu?
The answer to the first question is “No”. Most of the shops in Yiwu don’t accept international business credit cards.
But if you have an international debit/credit card with a Visa or Master Card logo, there will be no problems withdrawing your money from many ATMs in Yiwu. Bank of China, ICBC, China Construction Bank… all have ATMs for international cards. And it’s cheaper to take money out from ATMs than that from bank counters.
However, withdrawing money from a ATM with an international card would be the last option after confirming with several bank staffs, because the exchange rate is usually high and there’s a limit to the amount of remittance per day. For example, a China local card can only take out 2,500 RMB/365 USD and 20,000 RMB/2,920 USD per day from ATM.
You need to check up these limitations and restrictions with your own bank.
Carrying cash would be the easiest way. You can enquire your customs about how much money (your local currency or foreign dollars) is allowed to be taken out of your country. Carry as much cash as you could, that’s the top 1 option recommended here. It’s pretty safe to carry cash in China. (*Disclaimer: This is only my personal idea and it all depends on how much money you carry.) You’ll find people tend to carry more cash with them in Yiwu.
International cards (Visa, Master) can certainly serve as backup options.
If you plan to withdraw over 10,000 USD from banks here, another choice is to exchange US dollar into RMB and deposit it into other person’s account whose account is in Yiwu. So when you arrive in Yiwu, you can withdraw money from that person’s account. You can ask your bank about how much money they would charge for this. It’s almost free to withdraw money from banks here. Usually it takes several workdays to transfer money from your bank account to a Yiwu bank account.
*DON’T do this unless you have 100% confidence in the person whose bank account you’re going to transfer money to! ONLY choose someone you can 100% trust in.

Customs Clearance Tips for Import from Yiwu
Read in Advance:
In most cases, you’ll need a customs clearance agent / shipping agent to help you clear your orders when they arrive in unless your China agent can arrange door-to-door shipping service for you. This article is only for those who have never imported from Yiwu China. However, if you just want to import a few cartons or a few pieces, you don’t need to read this article either. They can simply be shipped via courier like UPS and DHL.Ask Your CC Agent (Customs Clearance Agent) before Going to China:
Different countries have different regulations and limitations for importing certain products. Different CC Agent will have different practical ways to help you with clearance.
Before you come to China, you need to talk to several good customs agents to know what their suggestions are for the products you plan to import, what certificates the customs require, and which practical ways to handle different situations.
This is not a 1-minute talk. You need to obtain as more detailed, solid information as you can. It is very important as you can save a lot of time and money by doing this.Ask Your CC Yiwu agent before Placing Your Orders:
Once you’re back with a preliminary order list in hand, you should talk again with your agent. Tell them specifically what products are on your list. How they can help clear these products and how much is the cost.By doing this, you can know what you’re going to order won’t be confiscated by the customs. And you don’t need to pay extra cost.Ask Your CC Agent after Your Products Finished Loading:Once all your products are collected and loaded, your agent in China will know the data like total ctns, gross weight, item names and so on. And they will make the customs papers for you.The requirements for different products are usually different. The purpose of this talk with your CC agent is to know:
“How to make right papers?”
“What are the requirements and practical ways to meet these requirements?”
“Which data must be exactly the same? Which data can be less accurate?”
Then send all these info to your China agent for making correct papers.
After doing this, you can sit and wait for your products to arrive in, without worrying that they may get stuck in the customs.
Ask these 3 questions, have these 3 talks. You will have a smooth transaction through your customs. And your China agent can also offer some useful suggestions based on their experiences. Don’t forget them.Do your due diligence. This is a once-off work. Things will be much easier for your next order.

Best Time to Visit Yiwu
When is the best time to visit Yiwu? In fact, You can come at any time you like as Yiwu market is opening all the year round (including weekends). Considering a few factors such as trade fairs, weather, business season and so on, there are two better period for visiting Yiwu: from March to June and from September to December.
From March to June:
At the end of February and the beginning of March (after Chinese new year), there will be many new items in Yiwu market. You can come to Yiwu to have a look.
The spring Canton Fair (15-19 April, 23-27 April, 1-5 May, 2010), East China Fair (01-10 March, 2010), Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair (27-30 April, 2010), and Hong Kong International Jewellery Show (5 – 9 March, 2010) are all held during this period, and products on display are always good. Besides, you can make a comparison between goods from different suppliers and enrich your products range.
The weather during this period is also quite pleasant. In spring the average temperature is 10C/50H-25C/77H. However, everything has two sides. During that time there’re no cheap flights, no discount hotels, because it’s crowded.
From September to December:
During this period Autumn Edition Canton Fair and Yiwu Fair are all held in the second half of November each year, Autumn Edition Hong Kong Electronics Fair (13-16 Oct 2010), and Autumn Edition Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (27-30 Oct 2010) are also organized one after another. So you can visit Yiwu and these fairs together. Products displayed on exhibitions are also pretty good and satisfactory. You can shop around and widen your products range again.
The weather in autumn is as good as in spring. Apart from the similar temperature, there are also no cheap flights and no discount hotels.
Both are the best time to visit Yiwu each year. Hope it helps.
